An item song performed by Mumait Khan in Ashuu Trikha’s forthcoming film Enemmy has the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) stepping in with firm hands. The names Katrina, Kareena, Bipasha and Priyanka in the number have been replaced by Miss India and Miss World. The names used were of popular Bollywood heroines Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra.

Trikha is angry that he was asked to alter the lyrics. “Kareena, Katrina, Bipasha and Priyanka are for me not the actors but just four names,” he said. “The song mentions four common Indian names which the censor board, in its wisdom, thinks refers to four popular Indian actors. They wanted us to get a verbal NOC (no-objection certificate) from these actors before clearing it,” said Trikha.

He is astounded by the logic applied to the song. “My argument is very simple. Why does the censor board believe that the names mentioned in the song are exclusive to the actors? There are hundreds of girls and women with the same names.”
